Taylor Swift talks about being "ridiculously stupid" in love in the new issue of Vogue.AP/Vogue

Taylor Swift claims that she is “ridiculously stupid” when it comes to love, and that she has started looking out for specific “red flags” to save herself from future heartbreak.

The 22-year-old country singer — who has already developed something of a reputation for being unlucky in love after high-profile relationships with Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, and Jake Gyllenhaal all burned out — tells Vogue magazine that she is happy being single.

“I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid,” said Swift. “I got nothing going on! I just don’t really feel like dating. I really have this great life right now, and I’m not sad and I’m not crying this Christmas, so I am really stoked about that.”

When asked if she was crying last Christmas, around the time she was reported to have broken up with Gyllenhaal, Swift said, “I am not gonna go into it. It’s a sad story!”

Swift, however, said she is happy to have been through heartbreak, as it has fueled her best songs. She says her upcoming album will be no exception.

“There’s just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak,” she says, “That will turn out to be what the next album is about. The only way that I can feel better about myself — pull myself out of that awful pain of losing someone — is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity.”

Swift also reveals that she has started looking for specific “red flags” to save herself from future distress.

“If someone doesn’t seem to want to get to know me as a person but instead seems to have kind of bought into the whole idea of me and … That’s maybe something to be aware of,” she said. “That will fade fast. You can’t be in love with a Google search.”

She continues, “If a dude is threatened by the fact that I need security, if they make me feel like I am some sort of princessy diva—that’s a bad sign.”

Swift’s reveals that she also looks out for guys who “need to put me down a lot in order to level the playing field.” And for her final dealbreaker, she says that she cannot be with someone who is too private about their personal life.

“I can’t deal with someone who’s obsessed with privacy,” she says. “People kind of care if there are two famous people dating. If you care about privacy to the point where we need to dig a tunnel under this restaurant so that we can leave? I can’t do that.”
